2.3a Fit front drum brake wheels
Note: if you have purchased disc brakes,
please refer section 2.3b
Note: If you have purchased the optional quick-
release kit, please refer to the instructions for its
installation in Accessories Section of this manual.
Located in a pack are the drum brake pins. These
pins need to be fastened onto the kingposts.
They are provided with hi-tensile bolts that
appear to have paint on their threads. This is
threadlocking adhesive, and it must not be
removed. If you remove and replace the drum
pin bolts, they must be held in place with Loctite
243 Threadlocker or equivalent.
Put the bolt (with the washer under the head)
through the centre, elongated hole in the kingpost
brake mount, thread the drum brake pin on the
other side, and tighten gently. This should be
only just finger-tight, so you are able to slide the
pin in the elongated hole. Do not make this bolt
tight at this time; it will need to be adjusted later.
Identify the left-hand and right-hand wheels (the
labels are on tape labels fastened to the spokes).
There should also be a bag with the drum brake
baking plates and spacers in it. Locate the front
wheel 12mm axle bolts and 12mm nylock nuts.
Slide an axle bolt through the hub from the
outside of the wheel (the side with the five webs
on the hub flange), then fit the small brake plate
spacer over the axle with the small shoulder on
the spacer against the bearing in the hub. Slide
on the brake plate. Now slide the bolt with the
complete wheel assembly through the kingpost,
locating the single hole in the black brake plate
onto the drum brake pin you previously installed.
Tip – make sure
the brake plate is
located on the pin
as this stops the
plate rotating.
This is essential
for proper
operation of the
brake.
With everything located, add the M12 nylock nut and tighten onto the bolt which is protruding on the inside of the
kingpost. A 10mm hex key and a 19mm wrench are needed to tighten the front wheels. Lightly tighten the
axle bolt, then check that the drum pin is properly located. Tighten the drum pin bolt to 10-11 ft-lb (13-14 nm).
Now, finally, tighten the axle bolt (see table in Appendix A for torque setting). When using a hex key and
wrench, this would be as tight as you can comfortably manage. It is important that these bolts are tight; you will
not damage the bearing by tightening to the required torque.
Repeat the fitting procedure for the other wheel.
